Escondido, Ca. – August 28, 2018 — The Education Department at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido is hosting another free 2nd Saturday art lesson on Saturday, September 7th from 10am-12:15pm.

1-hour classes are held at 10am and 11:15am in Studio 2, and seating is provided on a first come, first served basis. Seating is extremely limited, so please make sure to arrive a little early to guarantee a seat.
